I am looking at a 1971 Vert. The fourth digit in the vin is a 3 not a 6. Has anyone seem this before?

37 = two door coupe
67 = two door convertible

possibly, probably a converted coupe to rag top, its been done many times before. there are other possibilites more nefarious
Q. did you actually see the vin tag? does it match the engine?

This is not a numbers matching car. The engine is a 1974 cmj 350.
The color code and interior is correct, but the vin is wacked out.

Here is a "68" on ebay that is in the same way interesting. It has a coupe vin, and the only thing besides th4 vin that is 68 are the doors, although they are not from car 19933 because they are forward mirror doors, and thus mean an early car. The body has no trim tag so impossible to chase the body identity any further.
